Source: RJ Capak / Getty Isaac Wright Jr. wasn’t blessed with Johnnie Cochran -bread when he was wrongfully accused, charged and convicted of being a drug kingpin. Still, Wright found a way to level up and learn the law, eventually getting an appeal and exoneration. But the most gangsta part came after he got out: Wright went to law school, passed the bar and came back to try and convict the crooked officers and judge who locked him up. Put some respect on his name and hit the jump to learn more about his story, which 50 Cent will be telling in an upcoming project. In 1991 Isaac Wright was wrongfully convicted of being a drug kingpin in New Jersey and got life in prison. During the appeal process he educated himself on the law, was exonerated of all charges, went to law school, came back and got the cops and judge locked up.

Source: Patrick Wymore / Getty For millennials who remember how dominant Blockbuster was in the 1990’s, it’s hard to believe that there’s only on store left standing in the streaming era. It’s even more amazing when you remember that 18 years ago, Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix (the competitor that most agree put them out of business) for just $50 million. Today, Netflix is reportedly worth $32.9 billion and is available in 40 countries. All you can do is shake your head and salute the folks holding it down at the Bend, Oregon chain. This video store in Bend, Oregon, will be the last remaining Blockbuster in the United States https://t.co/HikAKDadWb pic.twitter.com/7LVesgfqUi — CNN (@CNN) July 13, 2018
